"Who are you to me? Why should I be angry with you?" Zhu Yue'e glanced at Bai Qinchen and said coldly.
"Hehe, I'm your future man," Bai Qinchen said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zhu Yue'e pursed her lips and said nothing more.
The two walked deeper into the forest, becoming more and more remote, surrounded by trees and flowers, and occasionally they could hear the cries of wild animals.
"Roar—" Suddenly, a loud roar pierced the sky.
"That sound...it sounds like something's coming!" Zhu Yue'e stopped and looked around warily.
Chapter 410 Wind Shadow Demon Wolf
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Several dark figures darted swiftly through the jungle, their movements agile and fast, like a gust of wind.
"Awoo~" A pack of wolves appeared in front of Zhu Yue'e and Bai Qinchen, staring at them menacingly and letting out low growls.
"Wind Shadow Demon Wolves?" Zhu Yue'e exclaimed in surprise as her pupils contracted upon seeing the pack of wolves.
"Ten-thousand-year-old soul beast Wind Shadow Demon Wolves?" Bai Qinchen looked surprised when he saw the pack of wolves in front of him.
The Wind Shadow Wolf is a ferocious wolf said to be composed of countless wind elements. It is extremely fast, has a very powerful attack, and most importantly, it is a pack animal. Once attacked by a Wind Shadow Wolf, you must run away immediately, or you will definitely die.
"Your Star Moon Forest actually raises these Wind Shadow Demon Wolves artificially?" Bai Qinchen asked Zhu Yue'e with a puzzled look.
"In order to provide the royal family members with a complete range of spirit rings, they would naturally raise Wind Shadow Wolves, but there probably aren't that many Wind Shadow Wolves, right?" Zhu Yue'e frowned and said.
“There are twelve or thirteen Wind Shadow Demon Wolves here, and they are all over ten thousand years old,” Bai Qinchen said in a deep voice.
"Something's not right," Zhu Yue'e murmured.
This Royal Soul Beast Forest is primarily a training ground for the sons of high-ranking officials and nobles of the Star Luo Empire, and also a hunting ground for them.
To protect their safety, this forest is regularly searched to eliminate those extremely dangerous spirit beasts.
While one or two Wind Shadow Wolves at the ten-thousand-year level aren't particularly terrifying, a dozen or so gathered together pose a serious threat.
Bai Qinchen frowned upon hearing Zhu Yue'e's words, and then said, "No matter what, let's deal with all these soul beasts first."
Bai Qinchen also understood Zhu Yue'e's implication: the gathering of so many soul beasts here was no accident; someone must have done it on purpose.
"Roar~" Suddenly, a ten-thousand-year-old Wind Shadow Demon Wolf opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Zhu Yue'e.
"You beast, you're asking for death!" Zhu Yue'e raised an eyebrow, and eight soul rings appeared around her.
"Netherworld Thorn!" Zhu Yue'e shouted coldly, her figure transforming into a black streak, appearing instantly beside the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf, and striking with lightning speed.
"Sizzle!" Sharp, pointed nails sliced through the air with a piercing tearing sound. Zhu Yue'e's fingers, gleaming with a cold light, pierced into the neck of the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf.
"Awoo!" The Wind Shadow Wolf howled miserably as its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and gushing blood that stained the ground red.
The Wind Shadow Wolf struggled for a few moments before dying. Upon seeing this, the other Wind Shadow Wolves lowered their bodies, their fur standing on end, ready to pounce.
Although the death of one of their companions frightened them, they did not back down; instead, it further fueled their bloodlust.
"Hiss~" Bai Qinchen, who was standing to the side, also gasped. He did not expect Zhu Yue'e to be so powerful in combat. She had defeated a ten-thousand-year-old Wind Shadow Demon Wolf with just one move.
Moreover, the methods were clean and efficient, without any hesitation or delay, resulting in a fatal blow.
If Zhu Yue'e had been this clean and efficient when she touched the baguette, it probably would have broken long ago.
Thinking of this, Bai Qinchen couldn't help but shudder.
"Bang bang bang!" Just as Bai Qinchen was stunned, Zhu Yue'e and the pack of Wind Shadow Wolves had already started fighting.
Although Zhu Yue'e was strong, the Wind Shadow Wolves were also quite powerful. More importantly, they were numerous. Zhu Yue'e gradually showed signs of fatigue. She couldn't fight them all, and her strength began to run out.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, a Wind Shadow Wolf leaped into the air, opened its blood-red maw, and bit at Zhu Yue'e's head.
Zhu Yue'e had just repelled another Wind Shadow Wolf and couldn't dodge in time. She could only watch helplessly as the Wind Shadow Wolf's fangs drew closer and closer to her.
"Bang!" Just at the critical moment, Bai Qinchen stepped forward and blocked Zhu Yue'e's path.
"Invincible Golden Body!" Bai Qinchen shouted, and a thick layer of golden light condensed on his body.
"Thump!" The Wind Shadow Wolf crashed into the golden barrier that Bai Qinchen had conjured, making a muffled sound. The Wind Shadow Wolf was directly blasted away and fell several meters away.
"Awoo~ Awoo~" The Wind Shadow Demon Wolf howled a few times, then lay down on the spot, its fate unknown.
"How are you?" Bai Qinchen turned around and looked at Zhu Yueyi MingVIIba罒吴gy/*ue-已娥 with concern.
"Cough cough, it's nothing." Zhu Yue'e coughed a few times, recovering her senses.
"You take a rest, leave the rest to me!" Bai Qinchen said softly.
"Okay!" Zhu Yue'e nodded, then sat down against a thick ancient tree, closed her eyes to recover her mental energy.
"Awooo~~" The remaining Wind Shadow Wolves all howled to the sky, their voices filled with resentment. Their scarlet eyes glared fiercely at Bai Qinchen, and then they pounced on him.
"Ghostly Wind Slash!" Bai Qinchen shouted sharply, his figure leaving a phantom in the air before disappearing instantly into the pack of Wind Shadow Demon Wolves.
"Ghostly Wind Slash? Isn't that Yueying's soul skill?" Zhu Yue'e opened her eyes wide in confusion when she heard the name of the soul skill used by Bai Qinchen.
When she saw that Bai Qinchen's soul skill was exactly the same as Zhu Yueying's, the look of doubt on her pretty face deepened.
She could tell that Bai Qinchen's martial spirit was even the Netherworld Cat of their Zhu family.
How could that be? The Netherworld Cat is something only women of the Zhu family possess. How could Bai Qinchen possibly have it?
Although Bai Qinchen's level is not as high as Zhu Yue'e's, he does possess the martial souls of many women. Not only does he have numerous soul skills, but he also possesses the martial souls of a group of god-level powerhouses such as Bai Xiuxiu and Gu Yuena.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Bai Qinchen moved among the Wind Shadow Demon Wolves with strange movements, his hands flipping, and bursts of violent and fierce soul power surged out.
"Pfft pfft..." Soul power poured out like flowing water, and every time the attack landed on the Wind Shadow Demon Wolf, it would leave wounds and blood would splatter everywhere.
"Awoo~" The mournful cries of the Wind Shadow Wolves continued incessantly, and one after another, they collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
"Damn it, who is this person? How come he's by Zhu Yue'e's side?" A figure stood on the top of the cliff, looking up at the treetops, watching Bai Qinchen easily deal with more than a dozen Wind Shadow Demon Wolves, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
"Damn it, how dare you ruin my plans!" the man cursed viciously, his fists clenched, veins bulging, and his eyes filled with a ferocious killing intent.
"Hmph!" The man snorted angrily, then leaped off the cliff and rushed toward Bai Qinchen's location.
"Since a bunch of beasts can't deal with you, Zhu Yue'e, then I'll take matters into my own hands!" A ferocious smile appeared on the man's lips as he moved through the jungle like a ghost.
Chapter 411 Star Crown Soul Suppression
"Phew~ all done." Bai Qinchen clapped his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhu Yue'e and asked with a smile, "How was it? My skills are alright, aren't they?"
Zhu Yue'e nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you are even stronger than I expected!"
"Of course! I'm your man!" Bai Qinchen chuckled.
"Pah, shameless!" Zhu Yue'e said coquettishly, glaring at Bai Qinchen, and said irritably, "You're just my guard."
"Personal bodyguard!" Bai Qinchen emphasized the word "personal bodyguard" as he walked towards Zhu Yue'e and hugged her in his arms.
Whether someone serves as a bodyguard or not is unimportant; what matters is being close to them.
"You bastard, we just finished fighting and you're already taking advantage of me." Zhu Yue'e's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared fiercely at Bai Qinchen.
"I protected Your Majesty the Empress, shouldn't you repay me properly?" Bai Qinchen said with a wicked smile, holding the steamed bun and gently kneading it.
"Ha~" Zhu Yue'e opened her mouth slightly, exhaled a fragrant breath, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and gave Bai Qinchen a charming glare. "I'm very tired right now, let me go first."
"I'll give you a massage, you won't be tired anymore soon." Bai Qinchen chuckled, ignoring Zhu Yue'e's protests, and continued kneading the steamed bun.
Zhu Yue'e had no choice but to let Bai Qinchen massage her, closing her beautiful eyes to enjoy Bai Qinchen's warm hands.
"Clap clap clap!" Suddenly, a burst of applause came from not far away, waking Zhu Yue'e and Bai Qinchen.
"Interesting! How interesting! I never expected that Your Majesty the Empress would be secretly playing with a wild man in the forest. Tsk tsk~ How unexpected!" A mocking voice echoed throughout the dense forest, and a dark figure appeared not far away, coldly watching the two playing.
"Who?!" Zhu Yue'e suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, her face darkening instantly as she stared coldly at the man in black.
Her relationship with Bai Qinchen must never be exposed.
Whoever this person is, he must die. We cannot allow him to leave this Star Moon Forest alive.
"The Empress is a woman, yet she enjoys doing such despicable things. It's truly shameful!" the man in black mocked, his words laced with sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yue'e frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a chilling murderous intent, and she shouted, "You're courting death!"
With a "whoosh!" Zhu Yue'e stomped her right foot on the ground and shot towards the man in black like lightning. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of him and her slender fingers, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, stabbed towards his chest.
"So fast!" The man in black's expression changed instantly when he saw the sharp claws so close to him. He hurriedly retreated to avoid the fatal blow.
Zhu Yue'e did not pursue, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light as she coldly questioned, "Who exactly are you? Did you send those Wind Shadow Demon Wolves?"
There couldn't possibly be that many of these Star Moon Forest Qi Er Mountain Lin Si Jiu Qi (3) Master Lin Feng Ying Mo Lang. Someone must have done it on purpose. Now that this shadowy figure has suddenly appeared, it must be related to this matter.
“That’s right!” The shadowy figure nodded, admitting it without any concealment, and said, “I just didn’t expect that your little lover is quite strong, helping you resolve the crisis and killing all the Wind Shadow Wolves.”
"Who exactly are you, daring to scheme against me?" Zhu Yue'e frowned and coldly questioned, "What exactly do you want? Aren't you afraid of facing the wrath of the Star Luo royal family?"
"Hahaha..." the shadowy figure laughed loudly, "I was worried at first, but now that I see Your Majesty the Empress cheating on me, I'm not worried anymore!"
"If word gets out, I'm afraid the Dai family won't let you off easily!" the shadowy figure sneered mockingly, as if he had found Zhu Yue'e's weakness.
"You're courting death!" Zhu Yue'e's pretty face instantly turned icy, the surrounding air suddenly dropped, becoming as cold as an ice cellar, and her beautiful eyes revealed endless killing intent.
"Whoosh!" In the next moment, Zhu Yue'e suddenly exerted force with her toes, transforming into a black lightning bolt and rushing towards the man in black.
"Boom!"
"boom!"
In an instant, the two clashed violently, and a surge of soul power spread out, followed by a deafening explosion, as loud as a thunderclap.
Yueyi 2 (7) (1) 32 X Erjiu 2 The two fought at an extremely fast speed, and their figures could not be caught by the naked eye. Only black afterimages flashed in the air, dazzling the eyes.
After a brief exchange, the two quickly separated, each retreating five or six meters before regaining their balance.
"Contra?" Zhu Yue'e stared intently at the shadowy figure, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised seriousness, and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is indeed clever; you guessed it all." The shadowy figure grinned, his smile particularly sinister and terrifying, as eight spirit rings were instantly released, dazzling and radiant.
"As expected, he's a Soul Douluo!" Zhu Yue'e's face darkened. Facing the black-clad man who was also a Soul Douluo, she was confident in defeating him, but not in killing him.
If he fails to kill the other party, he may reveal his relationship with Bai Qinchen.
"Heh, you want to kill me? Are you afraid I'll expose your affair?" The shadowy figure seemed to see through Zhu Yue'e's thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, by then you'll be dead, and you won't have to worry about losing face."
"Is that so?" A voice suddenly rang out beside the shadowy figure, followed by a fierce attack that swept in.
The shadowy figure's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged to the side. The attack whistled past his neck, leaving a bloody gash.
"Who!" The shadowy figure turned around abruptly and was shocked to see Bai Qinchen standing behind him.
"Boy, how dare you ambush me?" The shadowy figure touched the bloodstain on his neck, staring at Bai Qinchen with a chillingly cold gaze.
"A sneak attack? Didn't you try to assassinate him first?" Bai Qinchen curled his lip in disdain, his face full of displeasure. "A grown man like you, aren't you ashamed?"
The shadowy figure's face grew increasingly grim, and he coldly snorted, "Boy, you've successfully angered me! You're not leaving here today!"
"Fourth Soul Skill - Star Crown Soul Suppression!" The shadowy figure roared, and a dazzling purple soul ring rose behind him, radiating a powerful soul pressure.
A crown of stars, composed of countless stars, floated in the void, radiating a dazzling purple light, mysterious and profound.
"Suppress him!" the shadowy figure roared, then controlled the Star Crown to fly down, carrying overwhelming power, and enveloped Bai Qinchen's body.
The entire forest trembled, the trees shook, and the leaves rustled.
"Bai Qinchen, be careful!" Zhu Yue'e's pretty face changed instantly, and she immediately warned him.
At the same time, Zhu Yue'e flashed and rushed towards Bai Qinchen.
In her opinion, Bai Qinchen was quite strong, having already reached the Soul Saint realm at a young age.
However, compared to Contra, the gap is still quite large. He definitely couldn't handle the shadowy figure on his own.
Chapter 412 They Actually Cheated
"Sixth Soul Skill - Sword Star Soul!" Facing the shadowy figure's Star Crown Soul Suppression, Bai Qinchen was not afraid at all and immediately used Ye Xinglan's Martial Soul.
A sword beam flashed out like lightning, instantly shattering the Star Crown Soul Suppressor, and continued its downward slash with undiminished momentum.
"Ding! Pfft!"
The Star Crown Soul-Suppressing Sword was cleaved in two, and then the sword light struck the shadowy man's shoulder, creating a deep, bone-revealing wound from which blood gushed out.
"Pfft!"
"How is this possible?" The shadowy figure stared wide-eyed, coughing up a mouthful of blood in pain, his face filled with disbelief.
He, a dignified Soul Douluo, was actually injured in one move by a Soul Saint who was a whole level below him!
It’s incredible!
